54: Chapter 54 Ye Fan Recognizes His Father
After seeing off True Monarch Qingyun, Luo Yunkai brought his sons back to the residence.
Once the door of the Immortal Cave was closed, Luo Yunkai immediately activated the Formation to block detection; unless one was at the Nascent Soul Realm, no one could probe the situation inside the Immortal Cave.
After doing this, Luo Yunkai did not rush to see Ye Fan, but instead took Beauty Yu to the reception room.
As soon as Beauty Yu sat down, Luo Yunkai said nothing and took out a space ring, placing ten million inside.
The requirement for Mandarin Duck Pavilion to relent was to provide ten thousand times the value of the female cultivator's current Realm in Low-Grade Spirit Stone. If so, Mandarin Duck Pavilion would, for the sake of sincerity, agree to let go of the female cultivator and allow her to Cultivate the "Entering Emotion Technique"!
Su Ninger was at the sixth level of Qi Refining; her own value, calculated in Spirit Stone, was just the value of a sixth-level Qi Refining Yao Beast, at most one thousand Spirit Stone.
That's right, it was just that cheap!
But when multiplied by ten thousand, it became ten million Spirit Stone, which was such a high price.
It was simply not worth it!
If it weren't for the fact that Luo Yunkai's Spirit Stone really came out of thin air, he would never have agreed to such an outrageous demand from Mandarin Duck Pavilion!
While complaining inwardly, on the surface, Luo Yunkai appeared very indifferent.
"Ten million Spirit Stone, here it is!" Luo Yunkai pushed gently, and the space ring, supported by spiritual power, landed in Beauty Yu's hand.
Fiddling with the space ring, Beauty Yu did not use her Divine Sense to check the Spirit Stone, putting it away casually. With a charming smile on her lips, she looked at Luo Yunkai suggestively and slowly stood up.
"Fellow Daoist Luo seems to have things to be busy with, so this humble one will not disturb you."
Her voice was very slow, as if she were whispering to a lover.
Even the battle-hardened Luo Yunkai felt half his body go numb, and he looked deeply at Beauty Yu.
What is going on with this woman? Is she using her full power of seduction on him?
Did she take a fancy to his wealth?
Luo Yunkai was suspicious, becoming more vigilant.
Beauty Yu chuckled softly, the laughter seemingly appearing directly in Luo Yunkai's mind.
Accompanying it was a voice transmission.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, see you tonight."
Leaving behind that heart-stirring voice transmission, Beauty Yu gracefully departed.
Luo Yunkai, however, was like a man who becomes ruthlessly detached after a tryst; once Beauty Yu left, he decisively turned his gaze toward Ye Fan.
His expression carried an indescribable excitement as he walked quickly to Ye Fan.
Ye Wang looked at Luo Yunkai's excited brows and eyes, then at his stepson Ye Fan. Comparing them Face-to-Face, he actually noticed a few similarities.
He realized, perhaps, what Young Master Xin said was not false.
His heart suddenly leaped wildly.
Su Xin's mouth curved into a faint arc; in a setting with only his own family, the gloomy aura on him eased significantly.
"Father, doesn't Little Brother look a lot like you when you were young?"
Su Xin had seen what Luo Yunkai looked like when he was young.
Back then, when he found Luo Yunkai by following clues, he had misunderstood a scene where Luo Yunkai was scheming against a neighbor, so he naturally didn't say anything good when he returned.
Not wanting his mother to mistakenly think that his own status had delayed him from acknowledging his father, Su Xin had refused to acknowledge him on the grounds that his father was too ugly.
To prove her taste, Su Ninger had drawn for Su Xin the Face of Luo Yunkai when he was young.
Therefore, upon seeing Ye Fan and seeing that Face which was seven or eight parts similar to Luo Yunkai, Su Xin was certain that this was his brother!
Luo Yunkai couldn't help but nod, "He looks like me, almost exactly the same as I was when I was young."
Xiao Tian curiously examined Ye Fan, then looked at his father now, muttering, "Old man, stop trying to gild your own Face; can you be as good-looking as Little Brother?"
Luo Yunkai glared at him.
Xiao Tian was not afraid at all, appearing in a flash behind the still dazed Ye Fan, placing his hand on Ye Fan's shoulder and patting it.
He nodded with satisfaction, "We finally have a brother who isn't scrawny to see the old man."
Luo Yunkai found it amusing, but he tacitly accepted the unique title of "Old Man."
He knew that this was his son seeking a special position.
He could be a father to many people, but he would only be the "Old Man" in the mouth of Xiao Tian alone.
Toward Xiao Tian, the son who helped him activate the System, Luo Yunkai felt more or less a bit of favoritism.
Luo Yunkai saw confusion and anxiety in Ye Fan's eyes, knowing that just looking alike could not convince him.
"Child, what is your mother's name?"
Ye Fan opened his mouth, then quickly pressed his lips together.
If he really was the son of the Master mentioned by his stepfather, then Mother...
Would he tolerate his own woman being with a subordinate?
What would be the outcome for Mother and his stepfather?
What would happen to his little sister?
Ye Fan's gentle expression faded completely, and he pressed his lips tightly, refusing to say a word.
Seeing this, Luo Yunkai was filled with confusion.
Was this such a difficult question to answer?
"Child, what are you worried about?" Luo Yunkai asked very gently.
Ye Fan remained silent.
Seeing this, Ye Wang, knowing what his stepson was worried about, sighed and stepped forward.
Even if they didn't say it, Luo Yunkai would be able to find out.
"Master, I know."
"Uncle!" Ye Fan looked over anxiously.
Ye Wang forced a strained smile at Ye Fan and then knelt down with a "thud" in front of Luo Yunkai.
Luo Yunkai was stunned and hurriedly reached out to help him up, "Old Ye, what are you doing?"
"Master, Little Fan's mother is named Rong Xue."
Luo Yunkai's eyes lit up, but he still insisted on helping Ye Wang up, "Rong Xue, it's her! Then that's right, Little Fan is my son!"
Ye Wang closed his eyes, "Rong Xue is currently my Dao Companion."
Luo Yunkai was stunned, and a sound of tiles colliding came from above.
Luo Yunkai didn't need to look to know that it was Beauty Yu, who had been watching the show in secret, who was startled.
Luo Yunkai sighed helplessly and firmly helped Ye Wang up, "What, are you still afraid that I will snatch your Dao Companion?"
Ye Wang opened his eyes in disbelief, looking at Luo Yunkai who was close at hand.
"Master..."
Luo Yunkai: "Stand straight!"
Ye Wang stood straight subconsciously.
Luo Yunkai said indifferently: "Although Rong Xue and I had a past, we have parted ways. It is her freedom to become Dao Companion with whoever she chooses, and I will not interfere."
His burning gaze turned to Ye Fan, "I only want to acknowledge my Bloodline!"
Ye Fan was scorched by such a gaze and subconsciously averted his eyes.
Disappointment appeared in Luo Yunkai's eyes, "Little Fan, are you unwilling to acknowledge me?"
Ye Wang looked at his stepson anxiously, wishing he could rush over, drag him in front of the Master, and make him kowtow to acknowledge his father.
Acknowledge him!
Why not acknowledge him!
The Master treats his own son so well!
Stared at by his stepfather's eager gaze, Ye Fan took a deep breath, summoned his courage, and met Luo Yunkai's gaze.
"Will you really not blame my mother and Uncle Ye?"
Luo Yunkai nodded affirmatively, "Of course!"
Ye Fan pressed his lips, "I want to learn Alchemy, can you support me?"
Luo Yunkai was surprised for a moment, but didn't hesitate, "Yes! Even if you have no talent for Alchemy, I will throw large amounts of Spirit Plants for you to practice Alchemy, and find powerful Alchemists to teach you hand-in-hand!"
Ye Fan looked at Luo Yunkai in astonishment, moving his mouth, wanting to say, isn't this too doting?
But the object was himself.
Then it was fine.
Ye Fan summoned his courage, under the eager and expectant gazes of everyone...
"Father!"
【Ding! Ye Fan acknowledges his father, ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stone education fund has arrived, please check, Host!】
Luo Yunkai was all smiles and let out a loud "Ay!"
"Come, Little Fan, this pocket money, your brothers all have it..."
